Tips on how to get enough protein

[caner44]

I was wondering how i can get enough protein. I weigh 175 so I have to take in 350 grams of protein. That seems like alot. I was under the impression that I have to get most of the 350 from natural foods. My apetite is not THAT big so I just wanted to know how much of the 350 I can get from shakes and which ones were the best.

Thanks

350 seems a bit extreme to me..
ratio goes 1 g of protein per pound of body mass ratio goes up to even 1.5, never heard it with 2g...

you should be taking 175 or 262.5 MAX

oh ok so then how would you suggest that get all those grams...is it better to injest them from protein shakes or regular food.

i would say as much food as possible then shakes if you have the appetite and the money to go further..

oh dont forget milk!!

carb countdown has 112 g protien per per carton

Eat quality protein sources and supplement with milk isolate shakes and whey(around your workout).

If you like cold cereal for breakfast, Kashi and Nature's Way have some high protein cereals. You can easily get 30 - 40 grams of protein from a big bowl of cereal with milk.

Tuna is also incredibly high in protein and low in cals. One can is something like 30 Grams of protein.

cottage cheese and egg whites come in minds as well

I get most of my protein through tuna and egg whites. Peanut butter is another healthy form if it's natural. Try to eat at least one lean meat source for lunch or dinner.

I consider ANPB a good source of fats but not protein. It has a very low PCDAAS, if my memory serves it's .4; The highest rating going to dairy and eggs with a perfect 1.0. Basically, it means you would have to eat over twice as much ANPB protein to get the same utilization had you used eggs or dairy as your source. Meats vary between .8 and .92 with beef having the highest rating. Most vegetable sources are under .5 with the exception being soy at .7
